Cagliari scores a crucial win in the fight to avoid relegation at Parma: the winning goal was dedicated to Yael Trepy

Cagliari came away with a win at the Tardini and secured three crucial points in the season’s first head-to-head match for survival. The Rossoblù defeated Parma 1-0 thanks to a late goal by Alessandro Romano and celebrated a victory that took on even greater significance following the scare in recent days involving Yael Trepy, the young forward who was in a near-drowning incident. The Sardinian team dedicated the win to him.

Cagliari got off to a shaky start, facing danger from Ndiaye’s run into the box. The Rossoblù responded through Maldini, but Corvi was alert and made the save. The first half unfolded at a fast pace, with both teams managing to create a couple of promising chances.

Parma tried to create danger through Mendy and El Bilal Touré, but Cagliari’s defense managed to contain the home team’s attacks. On the other hand, the Rossoblù struggled to find the precision needed to convert their chances into goals. The deadlock remained unbroken, and the two teams headed into the locker rooms tied 0-0.

In the second half, Cagliari changed their approach and became more aggressive, thanks in part to a triple substitution and adjustments made by Pisacane in the attacking third. The Sardinians increased the pressure and pushed higher up the field, coming close to taking the lead through Fazzini, who hit the post. The goal, however, was only a matter of time. In the 78th minute, Alessandro Romano took aim from distance and unleashed a precise shot, directed into the top corner, which Corvi could do nothing about. The ball found the net, and Cagliari took the lead.

Parma tried to respond by bringing on Elphege and switching to a more attacking formation with two strikers, but the home team failed to mount a meaningful comeback. Cagliari controlled the final minutes without taking any significant risks and secured a valuable victory. This marks Pisacane’s first three points on the road, earned on a difficult field in a head-to-head matchup that could play a significant role in the fight to avoid relegation. The victory is dedicated to Trepy, who has been at the forefront of the team’s thoughts following days of great concern.
